Okinawa in April
April is a great time to be in Okinawa, good summer feeling and yet not too hot. Ocean is just warm enough to swim, diving vest recommended for snorkeling. It is easy to go around with a rent-a-car and there are so many nice spots to visit or to just relax. This time we stayed in hotel Alivila in Yomitan near the ocean, really good, we enjoyed it.
To eat we went regularly to Birthcafe, a vegan/vegetarian organic restaurant in Yomitan. Each time it felt so good to eat there, we even often took some dishes as take away to bring with us to the hotel.

Every second day there was a one hour solo concert in the patio. We listened to a violoncellist, a guitarist and a clarinetist.
